What a year to wrap this up.
Friends, Readers, and to my fellow advice columnists.
First, allow me to express my belated holiday greetings. I hope everybody had a merry Christmas. How’s everything going on? I hope it’s doing great. May I, and please, allow me to express on my defense?
This is probably going to be my last newsletter as we are about to end the year. Apparently, the fact I’ve become less active and I am very well aware of it, at least only here in the world of internet. Not because there isn’t much left to look forward working on rather than it’s actually a lot.
Putting work aside, I think it’s fair enough to share this thing on my absence. The very real reason I stop not because I wanted to. The truth is— I got sick. Pretty badly. The doctors thought I might have Fibromyalgia after months of further medical evaluation on my chronic condition.
Unfortunately, there’s no cure for this and I’ll probably take this with me in a lifetime. Thankfully, on the other hand, while it’s not uncommon but not life threatening. I’m currently working hard to accept and deal this pain disorder as part of me now.
My family never knew about this. Not because I never care to share my concern. In fact, I’ve shared this a hundred times that I am really sick. But it seems, as though, they couldn’t see it because it’s really invisible and I rather not look sick because I never wanted to look sick so I ended up going through my healing alone.
This might sound really controversial, but it’s crazy how we tend to take care when someone is visibly sick. Not that I’m against of it. Believe me because they really need an urgent care. But I can’t deny it’s so frustrating when someone has an invisible ailment, other marginalized chronic conditions and even mental illnesses. They’re told to tough it up and be positive. No pain and suffering to get invalidated and should be needed treatment whether or not a cause for medical concern. THIS. HAS. TO. CHANGE.
Recently, amidst on my hiatus on the internet. Apparently, I have been called out “playing hard, stubborn, and acting mystery”. Look, I’m only 23 and never in my life care for competition, rank, and status. In, fact, I’m sick and tired of it. I’m battling with a medical condition and I work 3 different jobs. 2 part time and 1 full time and I don’t have time how to impress. While titles, praise and compliments are never a bad thing. Despite how superficial the world is increasing. I’d like to know there are still people that works hard to be themselves. Not to fit in to someone’s liking and I’m some of those.
I don’t know if this has something to do with me growing up, I’ve become increasingly quiet. Because, SINCERELY, all I care in the world is to get better and live doing what I love and to never to put pressure and resentment on everyone I know. I hope you know that my fellow colleagues.
I ain’t going to lie, I live this whole year missing and losing friends, things, and opportunities. Because there are days I get episode of flare-ups of pain and stiffness, days full of rages and sadness, days I couldn’t sleep because I got so many stupid worries turning around my brain. I figured that best way to deal with this is not beating it nor vanquishing it. It’s about learning how to live coping with pain, loss, and disappointment. To get through it well and not led by life of assumptions of what’s worse to come.
This is me in good shape and currently tried my hardest to heal, and I can’t wait to live normally and claim back my life.🖤🩹✨

Goodbye, 2023. To more happiness of ups and down to cherish this new year. 🖤
Since it's the last day of the year, and many people will be sharing their achievements or fulfilled goals but this post is a reminder that it's completely alright if the only thing you did this year was survive and be alive.
